Playing the field

Cheating & 'sex tape', but Chelsea target Icardi's WAG is now cleaning up

It was clear Preston needed to improve dramatically if they were to get anything from the game but the second half started ominously for the visitors when Kabano's snap-shot was pushed onto the bar by Maxwell.

Daryl Horgan did manage to threaten Button's goal as the visitors finally got onto the front foot but hopes of a comeback disappeared when Martin added a second Fulham goal on the hour.

The Scotland international was sent clear inside the Preston area by Ryan Fredericks' pass and produced a neat, right-foot finish to place the ball beyond Maxwell.

Preston's response was impressive with Barkhuizen reducing the deficit seven minutes later after running in behind the home defence to collect McGeady's through-ball before keeping his nerve and beating Button with a precise, low shot.

But Kabano settled any home nerves when he collected Aluko's pass and stabbed his shot through Maxwell's legs.
